Collette, who is starring in CBS's new drama "Hostages," said she recently ran into Grant and the two discussed the pilot. "You know, I ran into Hugh Grant and he was like, 'I don't like that they're doing that! Why are they making a show of our fabulous movie?'" she told The Huffington Post at the CBS 2013 upfront. "I suppose it's a story that they could continue. I mean, why not? I mean, I don't like someone else playing my character. [Laughs.]"

The series hails from "Parenthood's" Jason Katims and will debut midseason. Click through the slideshow below to see photos from NBC's "About a Boy" and the network's other new shows.

"Ironside"

In the gritty world of the NYPD, no one’s tougher than Det. Robert Ironside (Blair Underwood, “The Event,” “In Treatment”). He’s a fearless cop who won’t stop until the guilty are brought to justice. He and his trusted, handpicked team of specialists — Virgil (Pablo Schreiber, “The Wire” “Lights Out”), Holly (Spencer Grammer, “Greek,” “As the World Turns”) and Teddy (Neal Bledsoe, “Smash,” “Ugly Betty”), as well as his former partner Gary (Brent Sexton, “The Killing”) and boss, Det. Ed Rollins (Kenneth Choi, “Sons of Anarchy”) — will do whatever it takes to solve New York’s most difficult and notorious crimes. As a detective, Ironside’s instincts are second to none, and those around him have to stay on their toes if they want to keep up because when his spine was shattered by a bullet two years ago, Ironside swore he’d never let a wheelchair slow him down.
